I must say… Leviathan, Bungie reminded me of this comic this morning by putting up a reminder that you’ve got this new site. Noticed you’d added a few slides since I last looked.. and for them to say “fan fiction” in my opinion, does no justice. By the time this work is complete, I think it should be fully merged with the canon of Halo.

The attention to detail and tying together various games and books is amazing:
-UNSC Destroyers, Frigates, and Vultures all fighting in the same few slides
-Interesting and fun design for a new Superintendent
-Hydrogen reactors like the ones in H-Wars
-The story of why Emile ‘painted’ his ‘pretty picture’
-The general feel of each member of Noble as well as Halsey

You’ve done it all, and my hat’s off to you. This is a brilliant tying piece to the many pieces of Halo’s universe. And a BEAUTIFUL transition story for Jun’s fate.

I’m going to make everything available that one might need to get their own copy printed off (title pages, credits, some fun advertisements and bonus content) when it’s done. I can’t legally print off and not spend a ton of money, sadly, but I’ll point out places you can do it for yourself for hopefully not too much money, besides a local printer.

Wow! I was really impressed by this comic! I like the personalities you gave to the Noble Team. At first, I thought this was a real graphic novel made by Bungie! It’s that good. I hope you don’t lose interest in this, because I don’t think I am any time soon!

Simply amazing.
I am loving the way you are exploring Jun’s character. On reading his profile..the PTSD symptoms and his “Unhealthy Detachment” really intrigued me. On one side he was a nice “chatty” guy and yet there seems to be a layer of emotional complexity underneath his exterior.
I also felt that he is overcompensating for some past mistakes. There is a tinge of guilt in his history. What lead to his cold hearted ruthlessness? This is by far one of the best fan fics I have read….truly deserving a Graphic Novel.
The Art style also is so vibrant and so subdued at the same time. I am loving the blue hues and shades. It gives it a very ‘Halo’ look to it (especially the blue main screen in Combat Evolved). Brilliant.
Keep doing what you’re doing…..and the best part it is FREE!!!
Cheers bro!

No, sorry, I don’t have the time to put it all in myself, if that’s what you mean. Plus, I’m not that fluent in Spanish, so I’d just be taking your word for a faithful translation – hopefully you understand that I may not want to release a version myself where I don’t even know what I’m releasing. I don’t mind you doing it yourself though, there’s already spanish and french translations out there.

It may look wrong in comparison to an average watch, but due to the nature of MJOLNIR Mark V/B armor, that’s actually where it sits. A human hand can rotate with a twist of the forearm while the elbow remains in place, but since the forearm-armor on the Mark V/B is all one piece, it can’t twist like that – it stays in a reasonably same spot to preserve that elbow function, while the forearm underneath twists.

Also, I like the little secrets you put into your work. Such as the bar code on the back cover. It says “suggested for immature readers” and it costs 343 dollars. And if you use a bar code scanner it is a bar code to some box of Imation 3.5IN 1.40MB Pre-FMT Mac 10-Pack.
I saw other things but I can’t remember what they were.

I really do consider this canon to the Halo story.
I love the story, the big elements like Castle and each Noble’s character, to the little detail like the AIs, the connections to the other stories like Thom and First Strike.
Your art is as impressive as the depiction of the characters, especially Noble Team.
Bungie, 343i and Marvel should make this an official part to the collective Halo universe.
I’m curious to see if you’ll put in any 7 or 117 references into the story too.
Also, love the AI logo & the tear face. Does he have other facial expressions?

Yeah man its super official, Thom was mentioned by URk at some point when the real life trailer for halo reach was launched and he was killed inside the covenant carrier after throwing the bomb taken from Kat. Thats him! not in the game though.

Dude. You seriously need to be hired and make your story canon. Im waiting for every single page you upload. Ive read all halo comics, and this is by far the best. I guess The odst one and the black spartans comics are close to yours, but you are still king. Frankie, are you reading this??!!!!!!!!!

Hey there Levi, nice to see those cover updates.
So, when you finish this comic and I print it out and make a physical copy to display with my Jun Play Arts Kai figure, I need to know which cover to use.
The first, the one actually shown with Jun standing there looking awesome, would be the paper back cover, and the other hardback, correc

Potentially the paperback and the hardback could use the same ‘wrap’ jpg. When you print it out and decide how to bind it, you’ll have to see if you’ll have a spine or not. If not, you should probably delete the black bar- the spine- in the middle of the wrap image and it should work. Hope that makes sense.

Wow. I am utterly amazed by the quality of both the images and the plot of this comic. It perfectly ties together all of the missing pieces of the last known days (and backstory) of Jun. I’m glad to have just a little bit more closure on the only truly MIA spartan. Thank you!

Everything I can say about AFoA, has already been said. Basically it really is the most passionate fan-made work within the Halo universe. If you could ever do anything else like this for any other aspect of the Halo universe, you would make a ton of Halo fans immensely happy. But for your own sake, I really hope 343i does contact you to work with them in the future. If they want Halo fans working on Halo 5, YOU need to be one of those people.
